Hi folks, My name is Alexander Gamero-Garrido and I'm a 5th year PhD student at CAIDA, UC San Diego. We're soon launching a large traceroute campaign for research and could use your generous donation of credits. We'll need about 150 million credits, but any partial amount that gets us closer to that goal is welcome and greatly appreciated. My account is agamerog at eng.ucsd.edu Thank you, Alex -- *Alex Gamero-Garrido* *PhD Student, Computer Science* Web: cseweb.ucsd.edu/~agamerog Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) San Diego Supercomputer Center UC San Diego Pronouns: He/Him/His <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> I'm using Inbox When Ready <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> to protect my focus.

Probe DHCPv6 support
by Aleksi Pirttimaa 19 May '23

19 May '23

Hi! I recently received my v4 probe and I'm very happy with it. But unfortunately it doesn't support DHCPv6. I present a practical reason for implementing a DHCPv6 client on the probe. You see, my ISP doesn't send router advertisements with the prefix for stateless autoconfiguration set, and instead DHCPv6 must be used. I believe their decision could have something to do with the fact that the regulating body here requires ISP's to prevent IP address spoofing in consumer plans. And to meet that requirement my ISP may be using a feature similar to Cisco's IP source guard, where switch ports and/or mac addresses are passively associated to leased ip's or prefixes, breaking SLAAC. Unfortunately they hate letting consumers talk with their engineers so it's difficult to speculate this further. For now, I've put a stateful firewall appliance in front of the probe which provides SLAAC, it works just fine. Do you think a DHCPv6 client should be implemented?

My probe's not doin' IPv6
by Edward Lewis 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

General question… My probe was doing IPv6 until 15 July 2021 but not it is not. Is there any way to discover why it is no longer IPv6’ing? I did change my ISP connection equipment about that time, so something did change on my end. But IPv6 works for other devices. When I go to www.ripe.net <http://www.ripe.net/> it tells me I came from an IPv6 address. The device has been pretty steady - 99.71% the last week, 99.91% for the last month (30days). It was off-line 29 minutes earlier today (the notice made me think to look), but never off line more than 10 minutes since mid-July. There’s one stretch of 34d+ of continuous uptime. Run-of-the-mill home connection via a cableTV company. Is there anyway to ask a probe why it doesn’t have an IPv6 address (via DHCP)? Ed

broken atlas streams
by Teun Vink 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

Hi, We’re seeing some issues with RIPE Atlas streams using the ripe.atlas.cousteau websocket library. Sockets seem to connect properly, but no data is received. tcpdumps show very little traffic. One of the already running receiver application (monitoring the exact same set of measurements) is receiving data, but any newly started daemon fails to receive data. Is there an issue on the RIPE Atlas infrastructure? Thanks, -- Teun Vink BIT | teun(a)bit.nl | +31 318 648 688 KvK: 09090351 | GPG: 0xFC8B25D6 | RIPE: TEUN-RIPE

My Atlas > Credits reporting wrong total daily income?
by Jaewon Kim 18 Feb '22

18 Feb '22

Hello, List! First of all, this is my first time posting to any kind of mailing list, so apologies if I did something wrong. Please let me know if so. I'm having this weird issue where 'My Atlas' page showing wrong info for "total daily income" (around 2x of what I'm actually getting). As you can see above, Atlas is reporting that this specific probe is earning 64K a day, and the total income is around 615K. However, if I see the actual credits page, None of my probes are actually earning that much. Plus, the hourly income is 13.7K, which sums up to around 330K/day. This isn't a big issue to be honest, but just got curious (and confused) with it. If anyone knows a fix for it, or why this is happening, it would be great :) Thank you! Best regards, Jaewon.

monthly information about probe availability
by MAYER Hans 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Dear All, We get this monthly e-mail about probe availability. This is great. But there are some questions. What exactly is getting measured? Is this a connection to some external site? Which could mean that there are other factors that could influence the measure (i.e. that external site is down, etc.) Kind regards Hans —

Ripe Atlas Credits Request
by Sergio Ricardo Hernandez Torres 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello Ripe Atlas Community: My name is Sergio R. Hernández Torres, and I’m currently a Master’s student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, SE. A little more than a year ago, in November 2020, I was deeply inspired by RIPE's mission and RPKI route validation, thanks to a guest lecture from RIPE at KTH. At this moment, I am currently beginning to work on my Master’s Thesis and chose to do it related to RPKI Validation. To run some experiments, I’m reaching out to you to know if it is possible to obtain RIPE Atlas credits for Academic Purposes. Also, I would like to keep in touch if more RPKI or routing information is needed! My Ripe Atlas account where donations are accepted is: srht(a)kth.se<mailto:srht@kth.se> Best Regards, Sergio R. Hernández Torres Student | Master's Programme, Communication Systems KTH Royal Institute of Technology www.kth.se<http://www.kth.se/>
